Chapter 1
System Overview
1.1 Introduction
96M4281o, PICMG 1.0 SBC (Slot Board Computer) is designed with Intel® Core™
Duo / Core™2 Duo / Core™ Solo processors with a 533/667MHz front side bus. It
adopts Intel® 82945GME Graphics Memory Controller Hub and the Intel® ICH7-M
DH I/O Controller Hub. The Mobile Intel® 945GME Express chipset's low power
design enables less average power consumption compared to previous generations.
The Intel 82945GME and ICH7-M DH delivers outstanding system performance
through high-bandwidth interface such as dual–channel DDR2 667/533 DIMM
sockets up to 4GB, and two Serial ATA high-speed data transferring at up to
1.5Gb/s. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports offer PCI Express x1 based 10/100/1000
Ethernet connection for fast networking access. Additionally, the new Intel®
Graphics Media Accelerator 950 graphics core is also built into the Mobile Intel®
945GME chipset which provides excellent graphics performance over the previous
generation chipset. Other features include two serial ports, 8 USB 2.0, watchdog
timer, and hardware monitoring function.
In addition, 96M4281o, together with Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, it adds
support for RAID 0, 1 level providing quick access to data and protection against
data loss for maximum performance, protection and upgradeability.
